I went to Győr for a day trip for a simple reason, it’s halfway between where I live (Vienna) and where my Hungarian friend lives (Budapest). Meeting in the middle just made sense. No big plan, no checklist of things to see, just a good spot to catch up with a close friend I hadn’t…
I arrived in Trondheim after a few days in Oslo, curious why so many locals had called it Norway’s “student city.” What I found was a compact, walkable place with a lot more to do than I expected, colorful wooden houses along the river, cozy cafés filled with students, and one of the country’s most…
Oslo in September turned out to be one of the best ways to experience Norway’s capital, without the summer chaos or the winter deep freeze. When I visited in mid-September, the days were already shorter and the weather flipped between crisp sunshine and sudden rain, but the trade-off was fewer tourists, cheaper hotels, and city…
The photos promised paradise, turquoise water, golden coves, lazy afternoons in the sun. But after 9 days in Mallorca on a budget, my reality was very different. The cheap place I booked turned out to be a nightmare, the weather caught me off guard, and small mistakes snowballed into one of my least enjoyable trips….
Planning a day trip from Copenhagen into Sweden often comes down to one question: Malmö or Lund? Both cities sit just across the Øresund Bridge, less than an hour away by train, and both offer a completely different experience. Malmö is Sweden’s modern, coastal hub, a city of striking architecture, busy parks, and cheap falafel….
Budapest in June is basically the opposite of a hidden gem. It’s hot, it’s busy, and everyone seems to have the same plan: drink in a ruin bar, sweat it out in a thermal bath, then take 400 photos at Fisherman’s Bastion before lunch. And honestly? Fair enough. I spent 6 days in Budapest at…
Planning a trip to Madeira and wondering how many days you need, which hikes to prioritize, and what it will cost? This 11-day Madeira itinerary lays it all out. Over nearly two weeks, I hiked the island’s most iconic trails, found budget-friendly places to stay, and tracked every euro I spent. Whether you’re coming for…
I lived in Spain for two years and managed to travel just about everywhere, from hiking the Camino de Santiago Inglés to exploring Roman ruins in Mérida, wandering the cobbled streets of Cáceres, spending a weekend in Málaga, and soaking up the energy of Seville. But this road trip through Cantabria and Asturias felt different….
Puglia is the kind of place Italians rave about but most tourists forget exists. Which is perfect, because it means fewer crowds for us. I only had 4 days here — not enough to “do it all,” but more than enough to eat my weight in orecchiette, dive off a cliff into turquoise water, and…
Thanks for reaching out! I'll get back to you shortly.
